A lot of people expected the Budget to be a disaster and the final straw and it... wasn't? Personally I think it's bought a stay until May but a leader who CAN accentuate the positives will make a big difference. Hopefully.

Thought this was some form of shit post but...no!

Obviously condolences to his family on this tragic, completely avoidable by not being a cunt, passing.

Well-known Bristol football fan died in tragic fall from lamppost City fan Paul Lumber was a published author of books about the days of football casuals in the 1980s

Three guesses what he was doing up that lamppost ...

Well if Geoff decides that is what he wants then we have no choice but to abide.

I've woken up an hour early so am just using thos thread as a catch up

I was unaware of gwlad before these posts and I heartily and genuinely thank you for bringing them to my attention.

One of my colleagues warns prospective new parents not to place a book case full of books and soft toys directly opposite the, shall we say, business end of a changing mat.

Only been introduced to the MSX in the last decade by my associates on the 8 bit retro scene. Did you buy it for 'work' purposes or for games like almost everyone else?

a chart crime all-timer tbh, respect

it's not even wrong in so so many ways

Huge M1 pot hole discovered.

Most of non-UK Bluesky think that 80% of British towns have this set of roads.

Switzerland 0-0 Ukraine: Remembering the worst game in World Cup history Beauty, they say, is in the eye of the beholder, but there are some things that even the most steadfast of contrarians would struggle to find attractive. One such example was the last-16 clash between

I remember paying 33 € to see USA - Czechia in 2006 (nominally "vision impaired" seeting, no such impairment in sight) and 125 for a Round of 16 match that should have given me Zidane but instead gave me what many consider to be the worst World Cup game of all time thesetpieces.com/latest-posts...

Oh no. Erm, will you be able to get off the floor? Only with my knees, in your situation I'd have to drag myself to the sofa.

Was this about the clocks changing again?

Did wonder why so many games journos keep calling me out for a fight.

2016/17 Stellaris is better than 2025 Stellaris. A slower, more thoughtful game that hasn't been updated to fit the exact requirements of min-maxers and content creators. I still like Stellaris, but I really miss the game it was.

Honestly? I haven't played it (motion sickness again). But I do hate a bandwagon backlash against an undeserving target* and a lot of people are busy retconning their opinions about Prey.

*all for it for DESERVING targets, tbf.

Apparently 2017 was a real fallow period for me (probably spent it playing Fallout 4 and Stellaris tbf) but if you can't block me fast enough I will regale you with my 10,000 word blog about how Idiot Gamers(TM) wrecked Prey and Arkane by throwing a meme-fuelled tantrum about Bethesda and Prey 2.

for those of you entering the work christmas party season, always remember: you will never regret having a drunken affair with a colleague, nothing can go wrong, everybody else who blew up their lives just had a skill issue

One thing that the US's cost of living crisis has revealed is just what perverts that whole country is for milk and eggs

Practical physicists, engineers, ham fisted scienticians like me and indeed anyone who has ever owned a thermos flask will also know why this is a colosally stupid idea that won't work.
